Wolf Love ~ Bianca

Bianca the little red fox came into our lives last summer. She was such a tiny little fox that Anika found in the meadow and brought her to my Sweetheart Baby.

Anika was around ten at the time and never had babes of her own but had been a surrogate mother many times. Anika carried her charge carefully over to Baby in the Basil beds. The tiny fox had been chewed up a little but there

were no broken bones. She did not seem afraid of Anika or Baby but she did quiver. Baby carefully placed her into her largest jacket pocket with a red scarf used as a cushion.

Baby and Anika then left the beds of Pesto Perpetuo Basil with the beautiful pale green leaves edged with cream and trudged on up to the deck. Baby had been snipping some of this sharp peppery Basil to make a spicy pesto for the evening meal. The basket of Pesto was placed on the kitchen counter to work on later as now all the attention was for the little fox.

The little fox was gently washed off and placed into a kitty carrier and set next to Anika's pad where she often slept in the corner of the indoor green house.

Anika seemed to have a nice plump pad in every room. Baby made them and stuffed them with eucalyptus leaves. Anika immediately lay down next to the fox and they both were fast asleep.

We had a nice meal out on the closed in summer porch and we both almost dozed off before we heard a tiny yip. It was mother Anika wanting us to tend to the tiny fox. We took her out of the kitty carrier and placed her into a huge apple bin we had in one of the corners of the summer porch. We often put baby animals in this bin for safe keeping while they were healing from some sort of problem when found by Baby. There was a clean kitty litter box and some water and food for the fox. Looking a bit scared of these new surroundings she seemed happy when Anika jumped in and snuggled next to her. Anika licked her new charge and right then we decided to call her Bianca.
